When Songs become Film Titles

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> i spy with my eyes films that got their titles from songs

With the hundreds if not thousands of bollywood movies which are released yearly, its no surprise that sometimes when directors are stuck on what to name their films, they often resort to the names of famous filmi songs, below is a huge list of some of my bollywood fan musings indeed some of them might just be coincidences, but then i doubt it

Roop Tera Mastana from Aradhana (1969) became Roop Tera Mastana (1972) starring Jeetendra & Mumtaz


Mera Sapno ki Rani yet another song from Aradhana became a 1997 film with Anupham Kher and Urmila Matondkar


Chura Liya Hai Tumne from Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973) became Chura Liya Hai Tumne (2003) with Esha Deol and Zayed Khan




Dil Kya Kare from Julie (1975) became a 1999 film of the same name with Ajay Devgan & Kajol




Tere Mere Sapne from Guide (1965) became Tere mere Sapne (1971) with Dev Anand and Mumtaz and again in 1996 with Arshad Wasi, Pran and Priya Gill



Pyar Deewana Hota Hai from Kati Patang (1970) became Pyar Diwana Hota hai (2002) with Rani Mukherjee and Govinda



Raja ko Rani se Pyar Ho Gaya from Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995) became a 2000 film of the same name starring Arvind Swamy and Manisha Koirala



Tirchi Topiwale from Tridev (1989) (i love all the songs from this film, this is kalyanji Anandji at their best, this song contains a clever use of Gloria Estefans 'Rhythm's Gonna Get you')became a 1998 film starring Chunky Pandey & Monica Bedi



Hum Intezar Karenge from Bahu Begum (1967) became Hum intezaar karenge a 1989 film with Mithun Chakraborty and Padmini Kolhapure




Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na from Aa Gale Lag Ja (1973) became a 2008 film of the same name with Imran Khan & Genelia D'souza



Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega from Sangam (1964) became a 2000 film of the same name starring Salman Khan with Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta singing 'Piya o Piya'



Buddha Mil gaya (ok i'm cheating a bit here, the song is called 'main kya karu ram mujhe buddha mil gaya') from Sangam (1964) ( this is the song that made me fall in love with Vyjayanthimala, even if you don't watch the others, make sure you watch this one for her funny facial expressions and superb moves) again became a 1971 film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee starrin Navin Nischol, Om Prakash & Archana




Na Tum Jaano Na Hum from kaho Naa Pyar Hai (2000) became a film of the same name starring Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan & Esha Deol


Aa Dekhen zara from Rocky (1981) became a 2009 film starring Bipasha Basu and Neil Nitin Mukesh



'Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai' one of my favourite songs from from Bobby (1973) became a 2004 film starring Tusshar Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor



Ek Hasina Thi from Karz (1980) became a 2004 film of the same name starring Urmila Matondkar and Saif Ali Khan



In yet another song from karz (1980) 'Om Shanti Om' became a 2007 Farah Khan film starring Shahrukh Khan & Deepika Padukone



In what could possibly be the most ridiculous of the bunch John Jani Janardhan a great song from Manmohan Desai's Naseeb (1981) with the who's who of 60's, 70's and 80's hindi cinema making cameos and of course this is where Farah Khan got her 'Om Shanti Om' Deewangi Deewangi idea from. Anyway the song became a 1984 film starring Rati Agnihotri, Poonam Dhillon and Rajnikanth



Kambakkht Ishq (in one of my favourite bollywood rip off picturisations, yes the picturisation of this song rips off parts of Madonna's Human Nature) from Pyar Tune Kya Kiya (2001) became a 2009 film with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor




Tere Mere Beech main one of my favourite songs from Ek Duuje ke Liye (1981) not only became the name of a 1984 film it also became a Tv talk Show hosted by Farah Khan





Kabhi Alvida Naa kehna from Chalte Chalte (1976) became a 2006 Karan Johar film of the same name starring Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Muherjee, Preity Zinta and Sharukh Khan




Rab ne Bana di Jodi from Suhaag (1979) became a 2008 Aditya Chopra film with Sharukh Khan and Anushka Sharma




Hum Hain rahin Pyar Ke (1993) from Nau Do Gyrah (1957) became a 1993 film of the same name with Aamir Khan & Juhi Chawla



Bachna ae Haseeno from Hum Kisisse Kum Naheen (1977) became a 2008 film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukhone, Bipsaha Basu and Minissha Lamba



And as i'm getting rather exhausted a note worthy one is 'utha se kadam' from Baton Baton mein (1979) which managed to produce two film titles in the form of Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and Ta ra Rum Pum (2007)




Phew!!! That was quite exhausting, which is your favourite Bollywood song made into a movie, Can you think of any others, do let me know
